Responses to our Town Hall Rich List
Today we released our sixth Town Hall Rich List – the most comprehensive survey of all council employees who receive more than £100,000 in a financial year. This year’s list covers the 2010-11 financial year but also lists 2009-10 figures for comparison. This year we documented a record number of employees receiving packages worth more [...] Read the rest of this entry »

Misleading Unison response to our report on council pension deficits
Unison make three points in response to our report this morning on the black hole in council pensions. They pretend that there is something wrong with us “comparing liabilities to assets”; try to play down the cost to taxpayers; and cite the same misleading ‘average’ public sector pensions figure they always cite when the high [...] Read the rest of this entry »

Unions try to mislead taxpayers over the public sector pay premium
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has today published a report showing the difference in the average hourly pay of public and private sector workers. It shows that the pay gap was around 8 per cent in 2011, with the public sector coming off better. It is staggering that, despite the desperate need to reduce [...] Read the rest of this entry »

Council openly advertising union jobs
Reading Borough Council’s Directorate of Corporate Resources is looking for a new Administrative Assistant. Not interesting on a first glance, but when you read the advertisement you realise it is not council taxpayers in Reading who are benefiting. We are seeking an organised and reliable person to provide administrative and clerical support at our UNISON [...] Read the rest of this entry »
The most fatuous defence yet of taxpayer-funded full-time union reps
Last week I blogged about the true extent to which council tax payers in Peterborough are funding Rona Hendry and Mark Burn, the two full-time UNISON activists at the city’s council. Between them, the duo – who are Secretary and Assistant Secretary respectively of the UNISON branch – are costing hard-pressed Peterborough residents in excess [...] Read the rest of this entry »

UNISON response to council pensions report
Today we have released a report on council pension contributions, you can read it in full here. We found that council employer pension contributions were equivalent to £1 in every £5 of council tax receipts in 2010-11. UNISON issued a lazy response to this earlier, strewn with factual errors. They claim that: Actually, the local [...] Read the rest of this entry »
Misleading TUC report on union facility time
Last year TaxPayers’ Alliance research revealed that 2,840 full time equivalent public sector staff were working for the unions, instead of front line services. Today the Trades Union Congress (TUC) has released a new study looking at facility time, arguing that it provides benefits in excess of the costs to taxpayers. There is no genuinely [...] Read the rest of this entry »
Pressure continues to grow for action to cut taxpayer funding of trade unions
A new dossier of evidence demonstrating how trade unions are abusing the subsidies they get from the taxpayer has today been published by Witham MP, Priti Patel. Citing our recent research note, Taxpayer funding of trade unions 2011, Ms Patel’s dossier – as previewed over the weekend in the Sunday Express – makes the case [...] Read the rest of this entry »
